T all whom it "may COTLL'QWU Be it known that I,- FRA K -1 citizen of the United Stet-es residing at Ncrthville, in the y 0f Veyne and State Of Michigan, have invented certafm new and useful improvements in Millaing-lviachines, of which the following is a sfiecification, reference being lied therein be t e eeecmpanying drawings.

This invention relates to milking devices I wherein the milk tubes are inserted in the teats, and the milk drawn of? without use of pulsetors, 01' other like meceenicei aids, and more especially to ceiteiii arrangements and disposition of the parts whereby irritation of the inner membranes of the udder is avoided. The invention consists in the mettess mereinefter set forth and more particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

-- In the dm'vw'ngs, Figure 1 is it view of e device embodying features of the invention, 7

epei'atiezi, the device is adjusted as in dieeted in Fig. l, the two surciugles and wikle tee hangers heiding the collector from swing- (if the eriihie nipple supports pre ventiag any side pressure or. the teat ducts. The which passes through the collector, seals the mill: tubes, and thus cannot en ter, in case cne quarter 0f the wider is F0 dieineri before the others, usueilf; occurs. As a. consequence, the delicate inner meme cmiies do not beco ne inf iii-ed and the yield of milk is net e ected, tl enims-l readily leecoming eccustemed to ti e The device may be res has no complicated parts order, and is efieetive.

Ubvieusly, changes in struction. may be made at cleperting the spiritei th .iHVQIL QiOP nd i do not Citl'fi t0 limit myself to any a er "rangemeiit of parts.
